Robbie Williams “Destroyer of pop culture”
The man behind Oasis’s early success, Alan McGee, has launched an attack on the prince of Brit-pop, Robbie Williams. McGee, who founded the indie record label Creation Records back in 1983, claims the Robster is a “crime against music”. Speaking to BBC 6 Music, McGee says he cannot understand why Robbie Williams is so popular.
The former Take That singer who left the band in 1995 has seen his pop career blossom becoming arguably the UK’s biggest artist at this time with total estimated record sales of somewhere in the region of 60 million units. Although Robbie has enjoyed huge success in the UK and Europe he has yet to crack the lucrative US market despite several attempts.
The Former Oasis manager, McGee, believes the Stoke-born singer is destroying the British record industry. He goes on to claim artists like George Michael and Sir Elton John are brilliant, world-class talents whilst Robbie is a “showbiz chancer” and has “one percent of Mick Jagger’s talent. Elton John has been quoted recently as saying Robbie is the “number 1 star in the world right now”.
